Inactive vs. Active List Rules

Beginning with the 2005-06 season, each team is required to carry 12 players on its active list and at least one player on its inactive list. Teams may have a maximum of three players on its inactive list, which includes any players sent to the Development League.

In the past, a team maintained a 12 player roster, with additional players being put on the injured list, which forced the player to sit a minimum of five games before again being eligible to play. Now, the active and inactive list can be set on a game-by-game basis, one hour before tip-off, with no length of stay required for either list.

If, for example, a star player is injured and forced to sit out one or two games, the coach can now place him on the inactive list and "activate" another player, giving the team a full 12 players available to play. In previous seasons, that player would have had to stay on the injured list five games, so instead the team would frequently just sit the player and make do with the other 11 available players.

They Are In The Game

These rules are incorporated into Cactus League Professional Basketball Version 2007 (and  higher).

Each team can have up to 15 players on its roster. Players can be designated as inactive before the game on the Pre-Game Activities screen. The Cactus League Professional Basketball Expert System will designate inactive players in automatically played games through AutoSchedule.

Beginning with 2005-06 Cactus League Professional Basketball Real-Time, actual Inactive Lists will be maintained for use by AutoSchedule. Since there is no longer an "Injured List," the transactions will only consist of trades and players added to, or removed from, each team's 15 man roster.

You can change Active/Inactive players for any manually played game.

User Configurable

Just like almost everything else in Cactus League Professional Basketball, you can change the rules. You can designate the roster size and maximum number of active players allowed for a game for any of your installed seasons. The actual rules in effect for the seasons are the default, so if you want to play with actual rules you don't have to do anything. Refer to the League Management Help files for instructions on how to make these changes.
